Mediation

Mediation is a process in which people who have a dispute can meet with the support of trained mediators. Parties can communicate openly and create ways to resolve conflicts. When mediation is appropriate:

conflict with apartment-mates

neighbor-to-neighbor problems

landlord/tenant issues

All mediation services are confidential, impartial, informal, and free. Please contact us to schedule a mediation consultation. Also, see our Mediation Brochure for more information.

Move-in & Move-out Videotaping

Helps protect your security deposit when it is time to move out

Security deposit disputes are the #1 advising issue at the Community Housing Office

The deposit amount that the owner or manager returns will be decreased by costs of cleaning and repairing damage for which you can be held accountable

Non-biased documentation of rental units on move-in and move-out are best way to avoid disputes
